Particle Characterization by Size and Morphology – Baden

Basic training

In this course, participants will learn about the theory of light scattering and the relevance of size and morphology in particle characterization. The principles of laser diffraction and image analysis will be covered, as well as understanding the pros and cons between the two techniques and advantages of choosing one over the other. In the afternoon, participants will have hands-on experience with both instruments, the Litesizer DIF (laser diffraction) and the Litesizer DIA series (dynamic image analysis). After these experiments, data interpretation and analysis will be discussed in small groups. 

Requirements:

Ideally suited for professionals active in material sciences, particle formulation and processing.

Topics:

  • Light scattering theory
  • Fundamentals of laser diffraction & dynamic image analysis
  • Size vs. morphology
  • Analysis and interpretation of measurement data
  • Hands-on training in the lab
